Chapter 267: Mechanical Arm
The auction did not seem to be over.
Some people had planned to leave, but they noticed the Exhibition Stand rising again.
On the Exhibition Stand was a mysterious object covered with a black cloth.
"What's going on? Are there more auction items?"
This was the question on many people's minds.
The next product was not an auction item, but a product that the Eternal Kingdom asked Hades to help promote.
To everyone's surprise, it was a silver mechanical creation in the shape of a hand.
Its internal structure was something they couldn't understand.
However, there was no doubt that it was a technology product.
Aaron returned to the center stage, holding the mechanical arm in his hand.
"This is a mechanical arm, a technology arm developed by the Ouroboros Group. As long as it's connected to your arm, you can control it as freely as a naturally grown arm. Of course, the only drawback is the lack of sense of touch."
To be honest, Aaron himself didn't believe this thing had such a powerful role, but he could only do as the Pluto Pirates told him.
As soon as he said this, the entire venue, everyone in front of the Visual Den Den Mushi, and people around the world were shocked.
How could this be possible?
At Marine Headquarters and other Marine Bases, the Marine High Command, including Fleet Admiral Kong, widened their eyes, staring intently at the mechanical arm on the image screen.
A mechanical arm was understandable, but free control? How was that achieved? The thought that popped into their minds was that it was impossible.
What was the principle behind this?
How could a person be connected to machinery?
Some people who reacted slower might still be marveling at the interesting nature of this invention.
But smart people had already foreseen the prospects of this mechanical arm.
It was definitely an epoch-making invention, and various science awards would pour in.
However, this was just talk.
There was currently no clear evidence showing the effect of this mechanical arm.
Until they saw it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it.
"Next, I invite a Pirate to test its effect."
Immediately after, an ordinary Pirate walked forward.
He was still a bit uneasy inside; everyone present seemed like big shots he could never reach on a normal day.
He had accepted the invitation from the Pluto Pirates, knowing he could get his arm restored and also receive an employment fee of two million Beli, which was why he came.
It was clear to see that the most conspicuous thing about this Pirate was a smooth wound on his entire left arm.
His entire forearm had been severed, leaving it empty.
It was a severed arm, clearly cut by a sharp blade, and this wound had been there for quite some time.
Aaron took the mechanical arm to the Pirate and compared them.
The size of the mechanical arm perfectly matched the missing part of this Pirate.
"This mechanical arm was specially customized according to this Pirate's size. Next, it's time to witness a miracle!"
It was time to demonstrate the mechanical arm's effect.
Aaron took the mechanical arm and placed it against the severed surface of the Pirate's arm, pressing them tightly together.
As if sensing something, the inside of the mechanical arm flashed with light, and a faint blue light could be seen from the outside.
The next moment, the mechanical arm moved on its own.
In a place others couldn't see, at the connection point between his arm and the mechanical arm, thin tubes like needles extended and pierced into his arm.
As if alive, they flexibly connected with his nerves.
Waves of pain came from the pierced wound, causing the Pirate to frown.
Blood flowed down from the connection point.
Although he didn't know what was happening, it was clear that this process was not easy.
However, for many Pirates, they had endured greater pain.
If it meant their arm could be reborn, what did a little pain matter?
Around the world, countless Pirates and other Strongmen who had fallen, hit rock bottom, or retired, felt a surge of excitement in their hearts.
Suffering injuries was unavoidable when roaming The Great Sea.
How many people had retired due to physical disability?
This didn't just include Pirates, but also Marines and ordinary people of various professions on The Great Sea.
In this chaotic Great Sea, there were simply too many people who suffered accidents.
But it wasn't over yet.
The mechanisms on the rear edge of the mechanical arm unfolded, wrapping around the connection point.
At the same time, mechanisms pierced into the flesh and blood, connecting with the Pirate's arm.
The Pirate stood there blankly, the arm connected to the mechanical arm motionless, seemingly feeling something.
Suddenly, a light of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly felt his hand had returned, and he could control this mechanical arm.
Subsequently, under the shocked gazes of countless people, the fingers of this mechanical arm moved slightly.
Immediately after, the entire mechanical arm began to move quickly and freely.
The up and down movement of the finger joints and the twisting of the wrist were all done with ease.
Furthermore, because it was a mechanical creation, it was even more flexible compared to flesh and blood, capable of a 360-degree rotation.
Seeing this, many people stood up in shock, their eyes wide.
This was a mechanical arm, yet it seemed to have come back to life.
At this moment, the facts were displayed before them.
The only drawback was the lack of sense of touch, but for someone with a severed hand, what did that matter?
Next, he was asked to test the mechanical arm's various performances.
Holding a weapon and using strikes, various movements were completed very well.
